Mothers day is coming up and I want to buy my mum a great phone.
In true ozbargain spirit, I'm willing to pay the lowest historical price ever for a brand new AU available phone.
Due to the approaching deadline, I won't have time to order a phone from overseas.
I also don't want to be considered a "tightwad" by my family, so refurbished or used is out of the question.
My mum only needs the phone for calls.
I'm after The Cheapest Locally Available Phone

I want to buy my mum a great phone.
So which one is it?
Woolworths has Some phones on sale. Alcatel Boost U3 for 19.99

That was the exact phone I was looking at but the screen is a bit small. Worried my mum won't be able to read the text
It has android so it can enlarge the letters for old people.
A classic Nokia does the job. Any cheap touch screen phone does not last long, a waste of money IMO.
Great phone, or a cheap phone?
They sell like $10 phones at the supermarket.
Need to be more clear with your question.
What's the price range? Less than $50? From $300-$600?
Phones sell from next to nothing all the way up to over $2000. So even $800 can be considered cheap in a relative sense.
Great cheap phone ? <$50.
I also don't want to be considered a "tightwad" by my family, so refurbished or used is out of the question.
Less than $50 isn’t a tightwad?
Got shipped notification. Missed out when posted, thanks!
did you get a text or email ? I didn't get anything & the forms no longer accessible. Oh well
I bought a phone from Woolworths (or maybe Coles) for $10 once, it was even touch screen.
